Well, who is this angry man I see
In the mirror looking back at me?
It’s a man who’s tired, a man who’s weak
And it’s a man who needs a Savior
And who is this fearful little child
Crying out for home, lost in the wild?
With a lonely heart that’s fading fast
It’s a child who needs a Savior
A child who needs a Savior
And what is this longing in my soul
That I get so scared and angry?
I need more than just a little help
I need someone who will save me
Come and save me
I need someone to save me
Who will save me?
Come and save me
And who is this one nailed to a cross
Who would rather die than leave us lost?
He’s come to rescue us, come to set us free
Hallelujah, hallelujah
It is Christ the Lord…our Savior

Behind the Song:"I cried as I wrote this song. That’s not something that happens very often. ‘Who is this angry man I
see in the mirror looking back at me? It’s a man who’s tired it’s a man who’s weak, it’s a man who
needs a Savior.’ This is the story of my life. This is me. This is as honest as I’ve ever been. One of
the things that I’ve seen in my life the last couple years with all of the pain that has gone on around
me and being in a place where I’m not in control I’ve found myself becoming very angry. I found
myself becoming furious because I can’t control this. This song just undoes me every time I hear it.
‘I’m a man who’s tired, a man who’s weak, and I’m a man who just simply needs a Savior.’ The
bridge talks about not just needing a little help. A guy who’s drowning doesn’t ask for a little help, he
cries out save me! I’m dying! When the plane’s going down you don’t just need a little help. You
need someone to save you, you need a Savior." -
